Craft
of the Month: |
My aim in putting all these crafts on-line is to have a good collection of activities which are easy enough for children to do and fun enough for parents to do with them! There are few more enjoyable ways of passing an afternoon, than making something. Beginning a crafty project still makes me feel excited, and when I was younger, if I was feeling in a 'crafty' mood, it was simply agony not to make something.
Most of these crafts are traditional, and have been made for hundreds of years, others I have chosen simply because I remember what fun I had playing with them or making them when I was little. Some of them are easy enough for the smallest hands to do, others are quite tricky, and are sure to be enjoyed by older children or their parents; but all of them, I hope, make a finished item which enhances the house they are in. If you have any problem understanding the instructions, or if you have any craft suggestions please don't hesitate to contact me, I would love to hear from you. - Wendy -
